History

Northumberland has long been a frontier between Englandball and Scotlandball, and throughout history (and prehistory) countless castles have been created in their rocky lands.

The first true Northumbrian ball was Berniciaball, who unified with Deiraball to create the mighty kingdom of Northumbria, stretching from Hull to Edinburgh. Not all was peaceful, though, as Scotlandball frequently laid claim unto their territory.

In 1237, after taking much of what we now know as Southern Scotland, the Scots relinquished their claims on the land. Since then, Northumberlandball has been a happy county of Englandball and the UK.

In the 1970's and 80's, Northumberlandball became known for their miner's strikes as coal mines shut down around them; the economy is now mostly tourism.
